Central PA Early Season T-Storm Video

By Jesse Ferrell, AccuWeather meteorologist and senior weather editor

Published Apr 15, 2008 11:09 PM EDT | Updated Jun 9, 2008 3:39 PM EDT

Copied

We had an unusually early start to the thunderstorm season Friday night here in Central PA. My wife and daughter were at my daughter's birthday party so I had the chance to drive up to the local Skytop overlook here in State College, PA to record the show. Unfortunately the lightning vista from there was rather lame, and I only got a couple crumby pictures and a short video.

To my southwest, Local storm chaser Ron "R-Factor" Shawley had much better luck. You see all his pictures on the Photo Gallery where you can also watch his extended, enhanced, edited video of the nighttime lightning, or download this 11.3 MB high-resolution AVI video of the best strike (wow!).
